This 2020 Range Rover Evoque diesel is significantly more reliable than the UK average, with an 89.3% first-time pass rate compared to 80% nationally—a solid endorsement of build quality. Only 14.2% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuring and well below the threshold that would raise serious safety concerns.

At just over 30,000 miles median, these cars are still relatively young and lightly used, which explains the low failure rate of 0.38 per vehicle. The average of 2.6 advisories per test suggests routine maintenance items rather than structural problems, so focus your pre-purchase inspection on service history and whether recommended work has actually been done.

The 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R Dy SE D A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (91.2% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ Around 1 in 8 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 91.2% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 2.6 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 2,080 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
